AAA RV auto club

[Dennis_Smith]

We have had AAA auto club for years for the cars, truck. Just signed up for the RV service. Anyone out there have it and are they happy with it? We have always been happy with AAA and I hope the RV service will be the same. We have the PLUS so we are covered for up to 100 miles, which out west 100 miles is nothing between service. Please let me know if your happy or sad about AAA RV Plus.

There is the problem with AAA RV as each area is an independent entity you may get to an area where the service is not available.
For example years ago Metro New York did not participate and when I had a problem on the LIE I was on my own.
I was cancelled after having a rather long tow that cost my local club a bunch of money. Just the one tow was all it took for them to cancel.
I have repeatedly used GSRA with no problems and no cancellation.
SO the moral of the story is find a service that works for you and ride that horse for as long as you can. At some point whatever service you choose will fail you and then you will look for another.

I first signed up last fall. Only used it once this past year, but it kept DH with health issues from having to deal with a flat. That sold it for me, along with the fact of covering towing on the tow vehicle as well as the recreational vehicle.

I went with AAA primarily because it covers all our toys - we have 3 boats on trailers as well as the TT and our vehicles. We actually have Coachnet on the new TT for a year, but it does not cover the other items. I figured it was a basic introductory plan, anyway.

I just upgraded from the Plus RV to the Premium RV version. That got me to 200 mile towing, which is about from our house to 4-5 hours away. For us, that would be to D.C., Skyline Drive or Lake Erie - our most common destinations. There are other good perks with the Premium like the concierge service.

Here in BC its called BCAA.It was about $20 more.Paid for it self within 2 weeks.Was using my 5th wheel for construction work at the time.
Broke a spring and got a flat at the same time.Called them up and they sent a low bed semi out from a near by town.He hauled it to another town about 2 1/2 hrs away.About 180 miles where we were going to stay anyway(one way of getting better gas mileage) He said it would have cost about $1500 dollars. If I had not bad the coverage I would have dragged it 1/2 mile and bought a spring and fixed it.

Had a wheel bearing eat itself on our 21' toyhauler on the way to the desert. AAA sent a flatbed in a reasonable amount of time, and got our trailer home in front of our house (50 miles). Driver said thank you very much - no charge.

The best way to answer your question is to do a side by side comparison of 2 or 3 EMRS service policies: Good Sam, coach net, and AAA. Based on what I have read from various posts from RV.net this are my concerns and observations:
1. AAA primary business or focus is not providing RV Emergency Road Side Service.
2. AAA EMRS service is not universally consistent from area to area and state to state.
3. check and compare the various limitations of each policy.

I've had it for years and used it only once. My trailer axle broke. We had to put it on a dolly and pull it up on a flatbed. Tow it to the repair shop which was closed because it was a Sunday. Then pull it off the flatbed while slowly releasing the winch cable while pulling the trailer off the flatbed with a second vehicle. Took about 3hrs total. No cost. Gave the guy a $30.00 tip. My only experience and it was a good one.
